Description

Radiation imaging apparatus
Technical field
The present invention relates to particularly possess the radiation imaging apparatus of the lonizing radiation grid that the diffusion lonizing radiation that produced by subject are removed by subject irradiation lonizing radiation being obtained the radiation imaging apparatus of perspective picture.
Background technology
In medical institutions, has the radiation imaging apparatus of taking the fluoroscopy images of subject by lonizing radiation.Such radiation imaging apparatus 51 as shown in figure 15, has the monitor station 52 of mounting subject M; The radiation source 53 of irradiation lonizing radiation; With the radiation detector 54 that detects lonizing radiation.
On the plane of incidence (detection faces) that the lonizing radiation of radiation detector 54 are injected, has the lonizing radiation grid 55 of having removed the diffusion lonizing radiation that produce by subject.Lonizing radiation grid 55 constitutes the absorbing foil of elongate and arranges in the mode of shutter.If this absorbing foil is run into the diffusion lonizing radiation, then most of lonizing radiation are absorbed paper tinsel and absorb, and are not injected into radiation detector 54.The diffusion lonizing radiation are absorbed and are removed by lonizing radiation grid 55.
By lonizing radiation grid 55 is set, can obtain the fluoroscopy images of the distinctness of having removed the diffusion lonizing radiation, and produce following problem on the other hand.That is: in radiation detector 54, mirror the shadow of absorbing foil.So, in fluoroscopy images, mirror the dark striped of pixel value, this makes the definition variation of fluoroscopy images.
In radiation imaging apparatus in the past, have and possess the device that removes the structure of this striped by Flame Image Process.That is, lonizing radiation device in the past carries out frequency analysis to fluoroscopy images and removes striped.The striped of mirroring in fluoroscopy images is the striped that many concealed wires are arranged with constant spacing, so if fluoroscopy images is carried out frequency analysis, then the striped component collects in certain fixed frequency.After the processing of removing this frequency component, carry out the frequency inverse transformation, then will obtain the fluoroscopy images of having removed striped.
The removal method of such striped also can be used in the lonizing radiation grid of synchronized model.Lonizing radiation grid at synchronized model describes.On the detection faces of radiation detector 54, with the rectangular detecting element that lonizing radiation are detected that is arranged with.A kind of lonizing radiation grid of synchronized model, be spacing with the shadow of the absorbing foil that in radiation detector 54, mirrors be the mode of integral multiple of the spacing of detecting element arrange absorbing foil made the lonizing radiation grid (with reference to the spy of Japan open the 2000-83951 communique, the spy opens the 2002-257939 communique).If on normal place, set radiation source and radiation detector and adopt synchronized model lonizing radiation grid, then since the spacing of the shadow of the spacing of detecting element and absorbing foil interfere and can not produce ripple, so can obtain the fluoroscopy images of the disorder of the image that further minimizing causes by the shadow of absorbing foil.Even adopt the lonizing radiation grid of synchronized model, also talkatively become not obvious, but with in fluoroscopy images, manifest striped and do not have differently, these stripeds are removed by frequency analysis.
Yet,, have following problem points according to radiation imaging apparatus in the past.
That is,, be difficult to remove fully the striped that manifests in the fluoroscopy images according to radiation imaging apparatus in the past.As shown in figure 15, supported by C arm 57 under the situation of radiation source 53 and radiation detector 54, by 57 rotations of C arm, radiation source 53 and radiation detector 54 can have a down dip at the state that keeps position each other.When adopting such radiation imaging apparatus to take, on one side C arm 57 is tilted, Yi Bian take.57 bendings of C arm only can make the relative position generation minor shifts of radiation source 53 and radiator 54.So the position of the shadow of the absorbing foil that manifests in the detection faces of radiation detector 54 can be moved.
Existing type lonizing radiation grid is arranged absorbing foil by pads such as clamping graphite between absorbing foil, and this pad also absorbs lonizing radiation to a certain extent.Under the situation of synchronized model lonizing radiation grid, what all is not provided with and forms hollow between adjacent absorbing foil, can reduce the absorption of lonizing radiation.On the other hand, because hollow structure, absorbing foil 55a has distortion and can not correctly form linearity.In a word, the shadow of the absorbing foil that the meeting projection is wriggled on the detection faces of radiation detector 54.Even so, the shadow of absorbing foil also is positioned at the horizontal central authorities of detecting element, does not cross in horizontal adjacent detecting element, and the shadow of absorbing foil is revealed as the ordinate of the width with a pixel part in fluoroscopy images.
According to this state, if make the C arm tilt to take, then the shadow of absorbing foil moves in the horizontal.So, because the shadow of absorbing foil wriggles, so shadow is partly from horizontal leap or do not cross over detecting element.So in fluoroscopy images, the shadow of absorbing foil is revealed as complicated striped.It is difficult removing such striped by frequency analysis.It is complicated that striped becomes, and is difficult to unify to remove by frequency analysis.
Summary of the invention
The present invention is in view of such situation, and its purpose is, provides a kind of shadow of absorbing foil that can be by mirroring the lonizing radiation grid in radiation detector to remove the radiation imaging apparatus of eclipsed striped in fluoroscopy images reliably.

Information storage part 33 is stored grid image G described later and original image P0.This information storage part 33, for example storage: tube voltage/tube current that X-ray tube control part 6 is used for controlling/pulse width etc. in all various parameters to the control institute reference of X ray filming apparatus 1.
G describes at grid image.Grid image G takes with X ray to be set at the image that obtains behind the X ray grid 5 of FPD4, stores 189 in information storage part 33.This grid image G obtains under the state that takes off X-ray tube 3 and PFD4 from C arm 7.That is, by obtaining grid image G towards the FPD4 irradiation X ray that X ray grid 5 is installed.
Image pickup method at grid image G describes.When taking grid image G, the X-ray tube 3 of irradiation X ray, as shown in Figure 6, by mounting in the platform 25 that laterally moves that makes X-ray tube 3 along X ray grid 5.Like this, can make X-ray tube 3, move along horizontal with respect to FPD4 from the state that X-ray tube 3 and FPD4 are positioned at normal place.In addition, that platform 25 can make X-ray tube is 3 approaching/deviate from FPD4.Therefore, can make X-ray tube 3 be positioned at the state of normal place from X-ray tube 3 and FPD 4, carry out with respect to FPD4 approaching/deviate from.So, the platform 25 of mounting X-ray tube 3 becomes the XY platform that can move along orthogonal both direction.
Describe at the situation of taking grid image G.In order to take grid image G, at first, from X-ray tube 3 irradiation X ray.So the shadow of X ray grid 5 is mirrored FPD4.Image production part 11 receives by FPD4 and detects data, and generates the grid image G of the shadow of having mirrored X ray grid 5.This grid image G is stored in the information storage part 33.
Such shooting is through repeatedly carrying out in the horizontal slip X-ray tube 3 in edge.That is, X-ray tube 3 along laterally moving, after temporarily stopping, carrying out the shooting of X ray grid 5 with platform once more.By repeating moving and taking of such X ray grid 5, take grid image G one by one.
How X-ray tube 3 when taking grid image G to be moved describe.Both position relation when Fig. 6 represents that X-ray tube 3 and FPD4 are positioned at normal place.Symbol P among the figure, the focus of the X ray beam that sends of expression X-ray tube 3.Because the shooting of grid image G is to carry out one by one when X-ray tube 3 is moved, so also change one by one at the position of the focus of the X-ray tube 3 of FPD4.
The focal position of the X-ray tube 3 of the time point of shooting X ray grid image G is any among P11~P47 as shown in Figure 7.In order to take the X ray grid image, at first, Yi Bian the focus that makes X-ray tube 3 from the normal place shown in the P24 along laterally moving, Yi Bian carry out the shooting of seven focal positions shown in the A2 of Fig. 7.Afterwards, with respect to FPD4 near after the focus of X-ray tube 3, an edge laterally moves and takes on one side, the X ray grid image of shooting on each focal position of the P11~P17 shown in the A1 of Fig. 7.Similarly, after the focus that has deviated from X-ray tube 3 with respect to FPD4, take, take the X ray grid image on seven focal positions of each shown in A3, the A4 of Fig. 7 Yi Bian an edge laterally moves.And, in Fig. 7, with the succinct purpose that is illustrated as, through four layers of shooting of having carried out at seven focal positions, and at adding up to 28 focal position to carry out the shooting of X ray grid image, but as the operation of the reality of embodiment 1, by the shooting of carrying out at nine focal positions through 21 layers, thereby at adding up to 189 focal position to carry out the shooting of X ray grid image.
Carry out simple explanation at the X ray grid image G that gets access to.When X-ray tube 3 is positioned at normal place (when the focus of X-ray tube 3 is positioned at the P24 of Fig. 7), the shadow S of absorbing foil shown in the left side of Fig. 8, is mirrored FPD4.Among the X ray grid image G of this moment, shown in the right side of Fig. 8, manifest the concealed wire of width with a pixel part.Yet, because the distortion that has of absorbing foil, the bending that has, so also distortion to a certain extent of its shadow S.For example, because absorbing foil 5a distortion, the horizontal width of shadow S is inconsistent.Influenced by this, in the concealed wire that in X ray grid image G, occurs, shown in the right side of Fig. 8, manifest the speckle that has part dark.
If move X-ray tube 3 from normal place, then the shadow S of absorbing foil shown in the left side of Fig. 9, is mirrored FPD4 from the state of Fig. 8 along laterally moving.The shadow S of absorbing foil is owing to be the shape of distortion, so shadow S is partly from horizontal leap or do not cross over detecting element 4a.Among the X ray grid image G at this moment, shown in the right side of Fig. 9, manifest the concealed wire that is complicated shape.In the part that shadow S has crossed over detecting element 4a, shadow S is assigned in horizontal adjacent detecting element 4a, in X ray grid image G, manifests the concealed wire of the width with two pixel parts.In the part that shadow S does not cross over detecting element 4a, the width of the concealed wire that manifests among the X ray grid image G keeps original pixel part.
X ray grid image G, by image production part 11, X-ray tube 3 when being endowed with shooting and the position of FPD4 concern after the relevant information, are sent to section generating unit 12.The X ray grid image G that section generating unit 12 will become two dimensional image is transformed to one-dimensional data.That is, section generating unit 12, as shown in figure 10, among the pixel value that constitutes X ray grid image G, the pixel value that string is longitudinally arranged averages, and generates along the transversely arranged grid section g of meansigma methods.As other method of generating mesh section g, also can extract the pixel value group that horizontal string is arranged out at certain position longitudinally of the X ray grid image G shown in the arrow a of Figure 10.Section generating unit 12, make X ray grid image G with based on it and the generation grid section g be stored in explicitly in the information storage part 33.So, in information storage part 33,28 (actual is 189) X ray grid image G and grid section g set up related the storage.
The action of<X ray filming apparatus 〉
Then, the action at the X ray filming apparatus describes.For the X ray filming apparatus with embodiment 1 is checked, at first, as shown in figure 11, take X ray grid 5 in advance, and get access to a plurality of grid image G (grid is taken step S1).Then, under the state of mounting subject M on the monitor station, carry out the shooting of subject M and obtain original image P0 (subject is taken step S2), and, obtain and relatively use section c (relatively generating step S3) with section c based on original image P0.Then, compare relatively using section c and grid image G (accurately is its cross-sectional data), select to original image P0 in the most similar grid image G (grid image selection step S4) of striped of shadow of the X ray grid 5 mirrored.At last, adopt selected grid image G to come the striped (cancellation step S5) of the shadow of the X ray grid 5 that cancellation mirrors in original image P0.Below, each step at them describes in order.
<grid is taken step S1, and subject is taken step S2 〉
At first, with X-ray tube 3 mountings under the state of platform, carry out the shooting of X ray grid 5.This step can be carried out once before the X ray filming apparatus dispatches from the factory.Therefore, the inspection of actual subject M is from mounting subject M on monitor station 2, and begins (subject is taken step S2) when subject M irradiation X ray beam.FPD4 detects the X ray beam that sees through subject M, detects data and is sent to image production part 11.Image production part 11 will detect data and carry out two-dimensional arrangements etc., obtain to mirror the original image P0 that the perspective of subject M picture and the shadow of X ray grid 5 are arranged.
<relatively generate step S3 with section: generate original image section p 〉
Original image P0 is sent to section generating unit 12.Section generating unit 12 is original image section p with the section that generates original image P0 with the identical main points of generating mesh section g.Original image section p is by averaging pixel value or releasing from the pixel value group that the horizontal string of original image P0 is arranged and obtain.Original image section p, shown in Figure 12 A epimere, component that becomes overlapping to form with the shadow S of the absorbing foil shown in the oblique line and the component that forms with the perspective picture of the subject M shown in the shade the two.
<relatively generate step S3 with section: extract regional A out 〉
Section generating unit 12 among the original image section p shown in Figure 12 A epimere, is only extracted the pixel that regional A forms out.Describe at this regional A.When X-ray tube 3 was positioned at normal place with FPD4, the zone that the shadow S of absorbing foil is mirrored was made as area B.So-called regional A is the zone of laterally leaving two pixel parts in original image section p from the area B edge.The pixel value of the regional A that extracted out is represented in Figure 12 A stage casing with rectangular histogram.Zone A as described later, must be the zone that the shadow S of absorbing foil is not mirrored, so to comparing between the regional A, if exist differently in the pixel value, then this is the cause of component of the perspective picture of subject M, but not the cause of the shadow S of absorbing foil.In a word, section generating unit 12 is only extracted the pixel that regional A forms out, has extracted the pixel groups that only comprises the component of mirroring the subject picture among the original image section p thus out.
The reason that only comprises the component of subject picture at regional A describes.Figure 13 is the sketch map of the shadow of the absorbing foil that occurs among the original image P0.When X-ray tube 3 was positioned at normal place with FPD4, the shadow S of absorbing foil shown in the upside of Figure 13, was apparent in the area B of the width of a pixel part.If area B with original image P0 on the whole, then is striated along laterally manifesting repeatedly.And, in Figure 13, component that becomes overlapping to form with the shadow S of the absorbing foil shown in the oblique line and the component (component of subject picture) that forms with the perspective picture of the subject M shown in the shade the two.With the perspective picture of the subject M shown in the shade, be actually the viscera tissue of subject M or osseous tissue etc.
If X-ray tube 3 is offset from normal place with the relative position of FPD4, then shown in the downside of Figure 13, the shadow S of absorbing foil can overflow and manifests from area B.But, in regional A shown in Figure 13, can not manifest the shadow S of absorbing foil.How no matter X-ray tube 3 changes if closing in the shooting that ties up to subject M with the position of FPD4, the horizontal displacement of the shadow S of the absorbing foil among the original image P0 is less than the distance of a pixel part, and the shadow S of absorbing foil does not move to from area B along laterally leaving the regional A of two pixel parts.
Describe at this reason.Because the bending of C arm 7, X-ray tube 3 is about 2mm with the deviation of the position of FPD4.From the distance the X-ray tube 3 to FPD4, normal place is about 1000mm, and X ray grid 5 is 20mm with the distance of FPD4.According to these, the relative position by X-ray tube 3 and FPD4 is at the transversely change 2mm of X ray grid 5, thereby the shadow S of absorbing foil is along laterally moving 40 μ m.The horizontal width of the shadow S of absorbing foil, though more or less change, but be about 30 μ m, the horizontal width of the detecting element 4a that the detection faces of FPD4 is arranged is 100 μ m, so, the shadow S of the absorbing foil that exists in the area B of original image P0 moves to away from the regional A more than the 100 μ m, can be described as impossible.
<relatively generate step S3 with section: generate hypothesis section sp 〉
Section generating unit 12 after extracting regional A out, is carried out the interpolation processing of pixel value in order to know the component of subject picture in the whole zone of original image section p.That is, section generating unit 12 uses the pixel value of regional A to infer the pixel value of three pixel parts that should exist between regional A adjacent one another are.The presuming method of the pixel value that carries out as section generating unit 12 can be enumerated as spline method.Figure 12 A hypomere has been represented the time point of this end of job.At Figure 12 A hypomere,, represent with shadeless rectangular histogram in order to distinguish the pixel value of being inferred by section generating unit 12.Being made as one-dimensional data and showing if this is inferred section sp, then is shown in Figure 12 B.Inferring section sp only is made of as component the perspective with the subject M of shadow representation.
<relatively generate step S3 with section: generate and relatively use section c
Section generating unit 12 is inferred section sp by deducting from original image section p, generate be used for the comparison section relatively use section c.Relatively use section c, shown in Figure 12 C, only constitute by component with the shadow S of the absorbing foil shown in the oblique line.
<grid image is selected step S4 〉
Relatively be sent to grid image selection portion 13 with section c.This relatively is illustrated in the pattern of the shadow of the X ray grid of mirroring among the original image P0 5 with section c.In information storage part 33, should exist and the grid section g that relatively uses section c identical patterns.Grid image selection portion 13 is selected the grid section g the most similar to the pattern of relatively using section c.
Describe at the detailed action of selecting grid section g.Grid image selection portion 13 at first, is carried out selecting of grid image G roughly.In this grid image selection portion 13,, send the range information of X-ray tube 3 and FPD4 by FPD mobile control division 24.Selecting near among the A1~A4 among Fig. 7 any when 13 pairs of grid image selection portions are taken original image P0 with respect to the position of the X-ray tube 3 of FPD4.At this moment, for example, grid image selection portion 13 has been selected A1.Grid image selection portion 13 is read the focus of X-ray tube 3 seven the X ray grid image Gs captured in the A1 position (being its grid section g accurately) from information storage part 33.
So grid image selection portion 13 by comparing two section g, c, is selected an X ray grid image G from seven X ray grid image G.Particularly, the grid section g of seven X ray grid image G is acted on successively relatively use section c, obtain correlation coefficient h, select grid image G.This correlation coefficient h is expression grid section g and the index of relatively using the consistent degree of section c.Correlation coefficient h is high more, and two sections are consistent more.Grid section g and relatively represented the pattern of the shadow of the X ray grid 5 that manifested among grid image G and the original image P0 with section c.Therefore, the correlation coefficient h height of so-called two sections has represented that the pattern of shadow of the X ray grid 5 that manifested is similar to the pattern of the shadow of the X ray grid 5 that is manifested in original image P0 in grid image G.
Acquisition methods at the correlation coefficient h of grid image selection portion 13 describes.The pixel value of grid section g is that horizontal string is arranged, so can represent grid section g with following matrix.
g={g 1,g 2,…g n?}
Similarly, also be that the horizontal string of pixel value is arranged relatively, so can represent relatively to use section c with following matrix with section c.
c={c 1,c 2,…c n}
Grid image selection portion 13 calculates correlation coefficient h by following formula.Correlation coefficient h is a scalar value.
h=(g 1c 1+g 2c 2+…g n?c n)
/(g 1 2+g 2 2+…+g n 2) 1/2·(c 1 2+c 2 2+…+c n 2) 1/2
Grid image selection portion 13 at seven grid section g, is obtained correlation coefficient respectively.So grid image selection portion 13 is selected the grid section g of correlation coefficient g maximum, and selects the grid image G corresponding with it.Thus, grid image selection portion 13 is selected: among grid image G, to the most similar pattern of pattern of the shadow of the X ray grid of mirroring in original image P0 5.Correlation coefficient h is the value that obtains after the scalar product of two section g, the c value divided by regulation.The denominator of this moment is the denominator that is provided with for the normalization of the value of scalar product.
Then, the concrete example of expression correlation coefficient h.For example, if two section g, c are identical, then the value of correlation coefficient is 1.In addition, along with two section g, c are inconsistent, correlation coefficient h approaches 0.To adopt such correlation coefficient h to judge that the method for the similarity of image is called method of correlation.Hypothetical trellis image selection portion 13 has been selected grid image Ga in grid image G, to carry out the following description.
<cancellation step S5 〉
Grid image selection portion 13 sends to cancellation portion 14 with selected grid image Ga.Cancellation portion 14 overlaps the inversion pattern of grid image Ga with original image P0, generate from original image P0 the correcting image P1 after the pattern of the shadow of X ray grid 5 removed thus.In grid image Ga, owing to mirrored the identical pattern of pattern with the shadow of the X ray grid 5 that is overlapped in original image P0, so if they are overlapped, then the shadow of the X ray grid 5 among the original image P0 can be by cancellation exactly.In display part 32, show this correcting image P1, check and finish.
As mentioned above, according to the X ray filming apparatus 1 of embodiment 1, be provided with the synchronous synchronized model X ray grid 5 of arrangement with the detecting element 4a of FPD4.The arrangement pitches of the absorbing foil 5a of X ray grid 5 is that the basis is decided with the arrangement pitches of detecting element 4a.Thus, at the highest normal place place of usage frequency, the arrangement of the arrangement of the shadow of absorbing foil 5a and detecting element 4a interferes and can not produce ripple, so can generate the higher radioscopic image of definition.
Yet such synchronized model X ray grid 5 is easy to generate the distortion of absorbing foil 5a.If the shape of absorbing foil 5a deforms, then be difficult to predict the pattern of the shadow of the X ray grid 5 that manifests among the original image P0, and be difficult to from original image P0, remove the shadow of X ray grid 5.
So, the structure of embodiment 1, be after having taken a plurality of grid image G in advance, select to original image P0 in the most similar grid image G of pattern of shadow of the X ray grid 5 mirrored, and utilize it to come the pattern of the shadow of the X ray grid 5 mirrored among the cancellation original image P0.In a word,, in knowing original image P0 in advance, mirrored on the basis of shadow of X ray grid 5 of what shape, can from original image P0, remove the pattern of the shadow of X ray grid 5 exactly according to the structure of embodiment 1.
In addition, according to the structure of embodiment 1, can take grid image G more rightly.X-ray tube 3 is offset as if producing in the horizontal with the position relation of FPD4, and the pattern of the shadow of the X ray grid 5 that then manifests in original image P0 can great changes will take place.Therefore, in said structure, an edge laterally changes the position with respect to the FPD4 of X-ray tube 3, Yi Bian take grid image G.If so, when original image obtained, even the position of X-ray tube 3 and FPD4 relation produces skew in the horizontal, the pattern of the shadow of the X ray grid 5 that manifests among the original image P0 also had been the image that has been taken into grid image G.Therefore, can predict the pattern of the shadow of the X ray grid 5 that in original image P0, manifests exactly.
So,, can take grid image G more rightly according to the structure of embodiment 1.If as embodiment 1, between X-ray tube 3 and FPD4, except X ray grid 5, stay out of anything and take grid image G, the shadow of then only mirroring X ray grid 5 in grid image G is so can be illustrated in the pattern of the shadow of the X ray grid 5 that manifests among the original image P0 exactly.
In addition, according to the structure of embodiment 1, the similar judgement of original image P0 and grid image G, be not adopt image himself, but adopt the section of the feature of the shadow of having represented the X ray grid 5 in image, mirrored to carry out.The pixel value of the section of embodiment 1 is that string is arranged, so the comparison between the section can be to carry out at a high speed.Therefore, in the inspection of taking original image P0 continuously, also can remove the shadow of the X ray grid of in original image P0, mirroring 5 reliably.
Yet in original image P0, the subject picture overlaps with the shadow of X ray grid 5.If the section of original image P0 is directly used in comparison between the section, then the component of eclipsed subject picture can be upset the judgement of the similarity of section in the section of original image P0.Embodiment 1 in light of this situation, and form following structure: according to original image section p generate do not mirror among the original image P0 subject as the time relatively use section c, by it being used for the comparison with grid section g, generate the shadow of judging the X ray grid of mirroring among the original image P0 5 and the similarity of grid image G.Thus, can understand the shadow of the X ray grid of in original image P0, mirroring 5 more reliably.
In addition, if as described in the embodiment 1, the method for correlation of the correlation coefficient by obtaining two sections compares, and then can understand the shadow of the X ray grid of mirroring in original image P0 5 more reliably.
The present invention shown in the explanation of carrying out with Fig. 7, can be applicable to the situation of the distance of FPD4 and X-ray tube 3 than the distance of the normal place that is equivalent to Fig. 4, also can be applicable to short situation.
The present invention is not limited to the structure of the foregoing description, can implement distortion as described below.
(1) in embodiment 1, though between X-ray tube 3 and the FPD4 not the thing of mounting except X ray grid 5 take grid image G, the present invention is not limited to this structure.As shown in figure 14, can between X-ray tube 3 and FPD4, take grid image G by the tabular virtual image (phantom) Ph of mounting generation diffusion lonizing radiation.In original image P0, comprise the component of the diffusion lonizing radiation that produce by subject M, the pattern of the shadow of the X ray grid 5 that manifests in original image P0 also is subjected to the influence of diffusion lonizing radiation and changes.Therefore, under the state that produces the diffusion lonizing radiation, take grid image G more can understand the X ray grid 5 that manifests sometimes exactly in original image P0 shadow.According to the structure of this variation, can obtain the grid image G of the influence of having considered the diffusion lonizing radiation.
